Jazz draft Keyonte George at 16

[Elizah Huge]

Keyonte is clearly taller than the midget Cason Wallace tho

So Keyonte is probably 6’4.5 in shoes maybe taller? Tony is reporting he has a 6’8 wingspan.

I would say that's his max height in shoes.

This isn't the end all be all, but I do think it's important to see how coaches respect each player. Coaches treat Keyonte like he's Curry. He is the centerpiece of both team's gameplan when Baylor is offense. You feel his presence every play. He's always running PnR, moving off the ball, drawing double teams, being picked up from half court etc. Even when he's just standing in the corner the other team is face guarding him and will not leave him to help. He may not be as efficient as you would like, but there is no doubt who the offensive engine is.

Adam Silver is reportedly 6'3. I assume that's a generous measurement in shoes, so Keyonte is probably barely 6'4 in shoes.

when you talk normal person height it's always without shoes. keyonte is a tad taller than silver there, so i'm going 6'3.5 without shoes, 6'4.75 to 6'5 in shoes.

Yes, because normal people always tell you their exact height and never add an inch or two.

Him and Cason were standing pretty upright next to each other. Cason was 6'2.5 without shoes and they looked to be the exact same height (hard to tell exactly because of hats and the fact that Silver has a giant noggin)

He looks like he’s 14 and/or is in a boyband.

There's something about his smile/eyebrows that reminds me of someone specific that I cant put my finger on. Maybe a cartoon character.

He had Wallace by 1/2 an inch - the 6’3 seems accurate in this case.

I think Keyonte has the potential to be the 25-point a game scorer we need. I see a lot of Beal in his game.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

Clearly his nickname should be Bounce House.

He's the most obese prospect in the last 20 years.

i've heard the beal comp often over the last several months. probably a pretty good comp in terms of peak outcome for him.

Lmfao. What losers do you hang out with who add an inch or two to their height? I literally don’t know one person who’s ever done that or would do that.

While being a legit 25+PPG scorer would obviously be a very high outcome for him. It really seems like the Jazz want, and have a bigger need, for him to be a legit PG floor general. Who can also get his own, and make defenses pay. He's the latter already, the former is what we are really hoping for.

 

[Pinhead]

25 PPG on 35 shots… LETS GO!

 

[KqWIN]

Moving onto UCLA game where he had a bad game

Summary
- I was expecting this to be worse, maybe it gets worse in the second half? Seems like he just missed some shots
- Had some turnover problems this half with offensive fouls
- Good passing especially in transition
- Played within the flow of the game this time, no crazy shots
- Very engaged in help defense, but not always effective
- Liked his effort against bigger players especially...but also had some good on ball moments
- Couldn't turn the corner on his PnR attempts which was not great
- Looked like poor conditioning again.

1H

Spoiler: notes

- First play is a set play that gives him an assist opportunity, but it's a miss
- Gets block called on Cambell who tried to flog against closeout
- Out of position leaves Clark open, airball. That was the slowest shot ever lol.
- Stuffs Bailey's drive
- High PnR goes to his right and finds the big for two FT's good read.
- Loses Jaquez on defense, but probably teammates fault.
- Beats Jacquez on closeout but instant double means he has to pass out of it
- Very attentive on defense. Wants to help and isn't afraid to body up bigger players.
- Beats closeout, quick move to the basket for a lefty layup
- Transition alley oop assist
- Amari Bailey beats him off the dribble after a fake screen set play, got caught
- Transition spot up, miss
- Rotates well to pick up roll man, nobody helps the helper though
- Helps and draws charge vs Jaquez
- High PnR, big shows and recovers. Keyonte gets clamped by Clark, wants a foul but I don't think he deserved one
- Half hearted dig sort of forces Bona into a charge turnover
- Good POA defense against Bailey forces air ball middy
- Sick step back move, misses the 3
- Triple threat travel
- It's kinda funny he's the low help man on every defensive possession, he's so small but he's trying.
- Tries to drive on Cambell, gets double teamed and loses it. Picks up an offensive foul in the process.
- Decent transition D effort, but gets beat by a really nice move.
- Gets switched onto big man but pushes him off the post and fronts him, no entry pass available...but later in the possession gets caught standing around. Tired again?
- High PnR gets doubled, he finds a really nice pass to a cutting lob man but drags his foot and travels before making the pass
- POA defense against Bailey he's in a good stance and in his grill, gets tripped....maybe by his own teammate? Anticlimactic.
- In transition makes a perfect read and extra pass to a big
- He's usually in good help position, just can't do much
- Good multiple action defensive position with a little bit of everything, unfortunately Baylor gets scored on anyways
- Off screen three misses, next play spot up 3 misses.
- Amari Bailey clamps him on BLOB forcing a timeout.
- He does this weird two handed swipe at the ball all the time and I don't like it....but also runs across the whole court on last defensive possession so you like the effort. It's a bad habit though.

Like every single dude in the world who is 5'11". EVERY ONE of them.

 

[GG Jazz Cabbage]

coming around with Keyonte if his 3pt shooting is for real.
